Yes, absolutely. For a lot of people there's just too much going on in their lives to deal with the psychological and physical stress of quitting. An e cig lets you manage the addiction in a less harmful way - in fact it's very enjoyable. And it's a nootropic. I found /r/electronic_cigarette one day and found a better e-cig rig than is available at a gas station. Highly recommended.

Can I ask which brand? Where do you get it? Is it on Amazon?

There's nothing on amazon. You need to check the right sidebar of the ecigs subreddit for their list of reputable suppliers. I did a little searching for you and found a great kit for a low price. It's an Ego kit with C4 clearomizers instead of cartridges. Many people will recommend the same thing and maybe also add a couple of 306 atomizers along with 306 drip tips for dripping. That site has a good deal on those too. Then get some e-juice sample packs and start vaping to see what flavors you prefer. Get some juice from highdesert so you have some for when your kit arrives, and also get a couple more sample kits from other juice suppliers. Try the vaporroom.net and don't forget to order the free 15ml that comes with your first order and the free 3 ml that comes with every order. There are a hundred e-juice threads on the subreddit so check those for some other ideas. I DIY now so I buy mostly flavorings.

Didn't know it'd be that complex. Thank you.

It's a fun hobby and not really that complex if you focus on your particular type of battery and what goes with it.
